It's Day 3 of Sneak Peeks for Release Week at Taylored Expressions and I have a fun project to share with you today. I love receiving gifts that have duo uses. The one I created for today doubles as both a gift and an ornament! I was inspired by the uber-cute Tag...You're It!set of holiday-themed tag images, which will be released tomorrow. The cool thing about this set is that the tag images fit perfectly in the previously released Favor Frame Taylored Die, which makes creating home-made gift tags a breeze. I wanted to make a set of tags to give as a gift, which can then be hung on a tree. I was delighted with how it turned out and I'll be sharing full details on how I created it below.

Begin by creating your tags. I made a half dozen, but you could easily fit a set of twelve in the little holder. Now, I found that one particular tag image worked really well with my idea to make an "ornament" tag holder: the adorable scalloped tag with the ornament (how's that for a perfect coincidence?) If you'd like to re-create the ornament I made, be sure to make one of these tags. To decorate my ornament, I used one of the fab large snowflakes from the soon-to-be released Winter Wonderland set and the coordinating Snowflake Taylored Die, along with the lovely patterned paper and pretty pearls included in the new Tinsel & Twig Project Pantry Kit.

I had so much fun creating this little gift tag set. Don't forget to check out the eye candy created by the rest of the Baker's Dozen! Tomorrow is Release Day and I hope you'll join me for one more project that's sure to be good eatin'!
